Applied Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that focuses on the practical application of chemical principles and techniques to solve real-world problems. It involves using chemical knowledge to develop new materials, improve processes, and create products that benefit society, such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, and energy solutions. This field often overlaps with other disciplines, including materials science, biochemistry, and environmental science. Professionals in applied chemistry work in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and energy, where they conduct research and development to innovate and enhance products and processes for everyday use.
